Set in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside in the village of Crich, this cosy 200 year old cottage, with its 2 up 2 down design, is an ideal base for walking, climbing, cycling, exploring and sightseeing, or simply getting away from it all.

Utrymmet

The cottage is around 200 years old and is adjacent to the owners’ own cottage.

The cosy cottage, a 2 up 2 down designed for 1 or 2 persons has been modernised to a high standard and is centrally heated throughout. It is in a very quiet location but only 50 yards from the village market place with many local amenities including pubs serving food, a post office, and our own unique artisan bakery, cafe and deli, called 'the loaf'.

It’s quirky in that the living room and kitchen are upstairs whilst the bedroom and shower room are on the ground floor. This is to make the best of the view towards the nearby village of Fritchley.

The living room is furnished with a sofa, a table and chairs, a TV/DVD, a Radio/CD player and has a feature fireplace. There is a selection of games, books, DVDs and tourist literature provided. The kitchen has a gas cooker and fridge with freezer compartment. There is a queen size double bed with storage drawers, wardrobe and chest of drawers. The bathroom has a self contained shower, sink and loo.

Beautiful little cottage, exceptionally clean and tastefully decorated in a good location to access the numerous outdoor activities the Peak District has to offer. The cottage is easy to find and only a 2 minute walk to a good pub. It was lovely to find a loaf of home made bread, scones, butter and milk waiting for us when we arrived. Can't recommend this place enough if you're a couple looking for peaceful Peak District getaway, me and my girlfriend will certainly be back!

Roger's cottage is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful local countryside. The cottage itself is the perfect size for two people and very quiet - the only thing you're likely to hear in the mornings is the local rooster. At the same time, you'll be a five-minute walk from local pubs, a butcher, and a bakery. The cottage is well-appointed with useful kitchen gadgets and lots of information on local attractions. And the home-made scones and loaf of bread made for a very warm welcome after our journey to Crich!

This place is such a little gem that we wanted to skip the review & keep it ALL to ourselves ........... but I've relented: it is utterly charming, small yet perfectly formed, serene, quiet & secluded.
And Crich itself is fascinating ......... mine host owns a bijou tea house + bakery in Crich, so don't be surprised to find some of their wares to welcome you to the accommodation

We enjoyed a 3 night stay at Roger's cottage. It is perfect for a couple and has everything you need to self-cater (small kitchen, powerful shower, wifi, TV, dining table, sofa etc). The cottage is in the centre of the village close to local shops, pubs and takeaways. It is a lovely area to walk around and close to the Tramways museum.
Roger was extremely accomodating when we had an issue with our car on arrival - we very much appreciated this. We had a great stay and would be more than happy to return in the future as we didn't have time time explore everything!

I'm originally from Leek in Staffordshire and moved to Derbyshire from London in 2005, having had a career at the BBC. I now run the loaf bakery, cafe and deli in Crich with my partner Andrew.
I love independent travel so hope that Halcyon Cottage reflects that in making sure others have a great stay in Derbyshire.
